Dev environment setup with Eclipse and Ubuntu (Linux Mint)
Developers who want to use EnterMedia on an OS with a familiar UI can use these Ubuntu installation instructions. This process utilizes Java, Eclipse, Groovy and SmartGit. Alternate Instructions for standard Ubuntu Installation are also available.
1.) Install Java and Eclipse:
If you have multiple versions of java installed, install the following package and set as the default one:
Download the latest JDK such as this one: https://jdk.java.net/23/
Unzip the contents of the tar file to: /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-23.0.2
Make a symbolic link: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-23.0.2 /usr/lib/jvm/jdk
Then chose this JVM for your global path
vi /etc/profile.d/java.sh
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk"
export PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH"
